Chapter 591 Intelligence Work Conference
Are Guo Yi and others considered businessmen or spies?Their identities and affiliations were never made clear.But obviously their businessmen are bigger.Whether it is Guangzhou Station or Leizhou Station, their main tasks are to sell goods, import materials and manpower for the Crossing Group.Engaging in intelligence is just a incidental thing.

As for the Leizhou station, it not only involves sales and imports, but also sugar and wine production in the light industry sector, improved sugarcane planting in the agricultural sector, and the agricultural combination jointly promoted by Tiandihui and Delong.

"...In these two stations, other departments are much more involved than we are. If we want to directly command them, I am afraid it will be impossible."

That's right, Jiang Shan thought, the Guangzhou Leizhou system has become accustomed to their unique status as a political, economic and intelligence complex, and it is completely delusional to include these two stations under the intelligence bureau system - neither the Executive Committee nor the Senate will agree .If you directly demand that these belong to us, and those belong to us, the newly released office of the Foreign Intelligence Service will only get frustrated.

The Foreign Intelligence Agency sounds like a very famous name, but it is actually an out-and-out leather bag company, and no one will buy it unless it has enough strength. .

"We have to rely on the organization, relationships and work of the outstations," Jiang Shan said. "Of course, we can start anew and resend less visible intelligence personnel to the mainland. But—"

"But the executive committee won't approve it, right?" Wang Ding said, "you know what the executive committee means as well as I do. They don't like waste. Every senior is a treasure trove of knowledge and skills, which is the so-called The same goes for the good-for-nothing otaku. As for sending out indigenous intelligence agents, I don’t know how many people can be sent.”

Jiang Shan thought, he had no idea how much foundation the intelligence system had, and he could only talk about it after reading all the materials handed over.

The two of them spent a day and a night looking through all the materials handed over. The materials handed over from various departments were varied. Fortunately, the number was not too large. Materials from the Ministry of Industry.Most of the small amount of intelligence work in the past was carried out by the Enemy Industry Department of the General Administration of Political and Security Affairs.

"Lin Baiguang set up a stronghold in Qiongzhou—this is probably a pure intelligence station." Jiang Shan said.

Lin Baiguang's station in Qiongzhou, Wanfeng Rice Company, not only has five indigenous intelligence agents, but also developed a local intelligence network headed by Ma Benyuan, and at the same time, he has done a lot of work in assisting Jiazi Coal Mine in production and transportation, which can be called outstanding achievements .

Even the rice bank's business situation is not bad. According to the property report he delivered, the profit of Wanfeng grain bank is enough to maintain the operation of the intelligence station itself, and there is even a small surplus.

"If Lin Baiguang is willing to come back to work, he is more than enough to be the director of the third department." Jiang Shan commented.

Wang Ding thinks that if he is willing to come back to recognize it, will it be your turn to be the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau?But he didn't say that.He said: "There is also Monk Zou Temple in Leizhou, which is also a professional intelligence station." Chen Tianxiong specifically requested that this temple be rebuilt as an intelligence station.His current activities in Leizhou are basically based on this place.

"I think we should call everyone back and hold a working meeting." Jiang Shan said in a deep voice, "including representatives from Guangzhou and Leizhou. First of all, this is to respect their expressions. Secondly, we will have to coordinate with these places in the future. It is not appropriate. I'm afraid there will be problems if we have a clear interview."

"Well, in fact, you can reserve certain positions for dispatched personnel—they don't have to come back to work—Guo Yi can be the director of the first department, and Lin Baiguang can be the director of the third department. Not selected among the elders of Lingao..."

"You are making an official wish." Jiang Shan said jokingly, "When you become the director, they can't be serious, right?"

"Yes, the county magistrate should be in charge now! You should always pay more attention to the affairs of your position. Besides, many people who work on the front line know better. It is helpful to suddenly mention a few people who read spy novels as the director of the department. What's the use? Can the frontline staff be convinced?"

"It's true, but they are all on the front line. I'm afraid they can't do what the director should do—being a leader requires a lot of routine work." Jiang Shan said, "Let Guo Yi be the first director of the department." He is probably happy with the director of the department, and the executive committee may not have any objections. But in the future, the intelligence bureau will arrange personnel to enter Daming to carry out work, how to discuss and communicate with him? The process is too complicated."

"En." Wang Ding thought that he had neglected this point, and he regretfully denied his idea, "It seems that this is not possible."

"The most ideal situation should be to transfer the front-line personnel back to serve as the director, and send out the new intelligence personnel." Jiang Shan said, "In this way, the experienced leaders can also go to the front-line for training. .”

"I'm afraid it can't be done at the moment."

Jiang Shan also knew that this was probably impossible.Business relationships and personal connections in ancient societies were very close.If Guo Yi and others transfer one, it means that many business and social connections in Guangzhou will be interrupted, which is not the same as the random change of executives of modern large companies.

"Let's hold an intelligence work meeting first. Let's talk to everyone." Jiang Shan made up his mind, "I have to go to various departments first to understand the specific situation."

"Okay. Then what should I do?" Wang Ding asked.

"What about you, first go visit the people on this list and chat with them casually," Jiang Shan said, "They are all veterans who volunteered to join the intelligence work. You have worked in the powerful department in the past, and you know people well." There's always something to be gained, and it's still quite a bright 007 to see if they really want to do this kind of obscure career."

"Okay. I'll be there soon." Wang Ding asked, "I don't want the latter, right?"

"No, the latter is also possible—at least with enough enthusiasm." Jiang Shan said, "The premise is that I can know how much manpower and financial budget I can get."

The first intelligence work conference held by the Foreign Intelligence Agency was held in Bopu.Organizations participating in the meeting included: the Ministry of Commerce, the Office of Religious Affairs and the heads of the "Two Religions", the Office of Li and Miao Affairs, the State Administration of Political Security, and personnel from two overseas stations: Zhang Xin from Guangzhou, and Chen Tianxiong from Leizhou.Lin Baiguang from Qiongzhou also came back to attend the meeting.

The meeting was held at Bopu—in Wu De's own private villa.After the second general meeting, in order to avoid being questioned by the elders on this issue, he handed over the property rights of the villa to the general office.Because this place is quiet and secluded, and not as eye-catching as in Bairen City, it has become a good place for small-scale secret meetings.

Regarding intelligence work issues, the Executive Committee has long believed that a large-scale integration and clean-up is needed.The first is to eliminate the intervention of the political and security departments in the intelligence system, and the second is to integrate the existing systems to avoid the situation of multiple parties in the government.

Modern people are very sensitive to intelligence, and almost every department wants to set up its own intelligence organization or simply act as an intelligence organization.Even departments such as the Agricultural Committee are making reports that they want to establish the Red Flower Society within the Tiandihui system-an organization that travels the countryside as a small merchant and peddler, and at the same time conducts intelligence gathering and propaganda and agitation.The General Staff is also planning to set up the General Staff Intelligence Bureau...

This kind of fanaticism of the whole people to engage in intelligence must be corrected.The Foreign Intelligence Service happened to be a basin of cold water poured on the heads of various departments by the Executive Committee.

At this intelligence meeting, it was clarified that the foreign intelligence bureau is responsible for collecting foreign intelligence, and all foreign intelligence activities must be planned and filed by the foreign intelligence bureau.All departments shall not carry out foreign intelligence activities without reporting. At the same time, it reiterates that no department shall set up its own intelligence organization without authorization and prepare special personnel.

Under the premise of a unified command of intelligence work, it is stipulated that the summary and analysis of all intelligence shall be carried out by the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, and the intelligence collected from various places must first be submitted to the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, which will conduct a summary analysis of the intelligence and then distribute it.

Intelligence analysis is the highlight of intelligence work, and it can even be said to be a key work.In the past, most of the information collected by various departments, except the State Administration of Political Security, was directly copied to it without analysis.The CC's are generally the Executive Committee and "departments that may be useful".The latter is a vague concept.For example, the telegrams on the retail prices of commodities in the Guangzhou daily market collected by the Guangzhou station—the recipients are all executive committee members.After the Executive Committee received the information, the recipients of the CC information became more vague: the Ministry of Commerce, foreign trade companies, cooperatives, and even the Agricultural Committee and the Civil Affairs Committee may theoretically need it.

For the sake of responsibility, the general office copied all the departments that might need it.Not only was it a waste, but it also involved the energy of the receiving department—the information was not refined, analyzed and summarized, but provided to various departments in the form of original data—the work of judging and interpreting the intelligence became the responsibility of each department.Executives have to spend a lot of time reading and deciding whether this stuff is useful to them.Some people don't bother to ask and file directly.

According to Wang Ding's plan, all the intelligence is now classified and compiled according to the timeliness and content of the intelligence after preliminary summary analysis at the analysis office.Each department submits the types of intelligence it needs to the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, and the Foreign Intelligence Bureau distributes them to various departments according to the level of confidentiality.As for urgent and important information, it is directly sent to the executive committee in charge of the matter and the counterpart department to ensure that it can be responded within the fastest time.

The second is to establish a shared general intelligence database.All collected intelligence materials are compiled into booklets by category and date and stored in the database.When necessary, each department can directly check it according to the secret level of the department.Instead of filing them separately in the past and turning them into a pile of dead materials, only those who are interested will look them up.

In terms of division of affairs: Li and Miao affairs intelligence is classified as "internal affairs". The Foreign Intelligence Bureau no longer intervenes in the collection and arrangement of this intelligence.

A key part of the foreign intelligence work: the affiliation of the foreign station was clarified at the meeting - the foreign station is directly under the Ministry of Colonial and Trade Minister - the identity of the foreign station has not been clear in the past, and it is counted in the intelligence Some of the mouths are counted in the business mouth, and some are counted in the Planning Commission.In the final analysis, the things they handle are numerous and complicated, and have irreplaceable importance.Now that the affiliation has been clarified, it is easier for all parties to coordinate.

At the meeting it was decided that the foreign stations were obliged to support the activities of the Foreign Intelligence Service.In order to facilitate the effective command of the foreign intelligence bureau, the station chiefs of all the foreign intelligence stations must also serve as the station chief of the foreign intelligence bureau, forming a de facto subordinate relationship with the director of the foreign intelligence bureau.

In this way, Guo Yi from Guangzhou Station and Wen Tong from Leizhou Station became the station chiefs of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.In the future, every foreign station established will have the obligation to collect local intelligence and support the activities of the Foreign Intelligence Agency.Of course, in actual work, they can hand over specific intelligence affairs to other veterans in the station.

In addition to stationing abroad, the Religious Affairs Office has also been designated as a "key assistance unit" of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, especially Zhang Yuchen's "New Taoism", which is considered to have great intelligence penetration value, especially Chen Tianxiong. It is mentioned that Xu Wen's Monk Zou Temple is a very suitable site for "New Taoism" to use as a stronghold. It can be used as a missionary base and an intelligence station.

Zhang Yuchen, who had just returned from the Sanya Development Zone and was tanned, was very enthusiastic about this proposal.He proposed that "New Taoism" prepare to cooperate closely with the Foreign Intelligence Service, and he is willing to contribute the graduates of the "Taoist Training Course" under preparation for "New Taoism" to do both missionary and intelligence training.In this way, once the Dao students graduate, they will become the double vanguards of ideology and intelligence work when they expand to the mainland.

"There is no one in your Daoist training class, how many people have you contributed to?" He Ying, the head of the religious office, said, "Sometimes I will contribute to Li Miao affairs, and then I will contribute to the State Administration of Political Security for internal security. Now It’s time to contribute to the Foreign Intelligence Service.”

"I'm just pointing out how big a role 'New Taoism' may play in our cause," Zhang Yuchen didn't change his expression. "As for the source of Taoism, I have reported many times." The implication is that it has not played a role The main function is not to give others hands.

Wu Shimang saw that no one was interested in his Lingao church, so he came out and said that although the Lingao church is subject to certain restrictions on missionary work in mainland China, the belief in "Catholicism" can enable them to target Europeans. play a greater role.And in contrast, the Lingao Church has already mastered a group of devout believers who can use it. Compared with the "New Taoism" that can only talk about its potential role, the Lingao Church can "go into battle" immediately.

"Our believers are very pious, yes, very pious," Wu Shimang said, "They sincerely welcome martyrdom, so there is no need to consider the consequences for them to perform any tasks."

"What kind of mission should you let your mother-in-law, a nun, do?" Zhang Yingchen made a contemplative expression.

There was a burst of laughter immediately on the conference table.Wu Shimang was not embarrassed, and argued hard: "What's wrong with the nun mother-in-law? Such an old man will not attract attention wherever he goes-this is a very good intelligence officer!"

"I don't think so, so don't bother the old people in the convent." He Ying said, "People have served enough for your Lingao Church, let them spend their old age peacefully."

"There are also quite a few young and devout believers." Wu Shimang was eager to express his work in this area, "I believe that it is very suitable for aboriginals with firm beliefs to be sent out to do intelligence collection work—at least he won't betrayal."

Jiang Shan felt that it was a good idea to use religion for intelligence gathering, and immediately expressed "sincere thanks" for the support of the Religious Affairs Office.

After the Bopu Intelligence Work Conference ended, Chen Tianxiong and Lin Baiguang were invited to the Foreign Intelligence Bureau to hold a small meeting with Jiang Shan and others.

These two people can be regarded as the basic intelligence personnel of the Foreign Intelligence Agency outside. Jiangshan attaches great importance to it, and they are also very polite in their speech.The first is to invite Lin Baiguang to come back to take up the position of director of the third department or director of the office.

"No, it's better for me to be a special agent stationed abroad." Lin Baiguang shook his head unceremoniously, "I don't like working in agencies. I want to do some practical things outside."

"Okay." Jiang Shan knew that it would be difficult to persuade such a person easily, and it would be disrespectful to persuade himself any more, "I want to hear your views and suggestions on the work of this agency."

Lin Baiguang smiled: "Actually, I don't have any opinions. The first thing is people. We need to add a lot of people."

"I also feel that there are too few people," Jiang Shan nodded, "but the elders are a rare resource now..."

"I'm not talking about elders," Lin Baiguang shook his head. "As you said, elders are scarce resources. How can they be randomly sent to the mainland to serve as grass-roots intelligence work? It would be a great loss to die at random. I mean aboriginal Intelligence personnel."

Lin Baiguang reminded Jiangshan that several training courses for intelligence personnel had been held in the past, but the number of people was so small that it was not enough.Personnel training should be paid close attention to.

"Indigenous intelligence personnel are inexperienced. We need to give them more opportunities to practice. I suggest increasing manpower investment in Qiongshan County. All the newly trained intelligence personnel can be sent to me," Lin Baiguang said.

"Oh?" Jiang Shan thought, what does this mean?Although Qiongshan County is a subsidiary county of Qiongzhou Prefecture, it is only a county on Hainan Island after all, and in the eyes of the executive committee, it is just an apple that will not be picked for the time being.If it weren't for the existence of Jiazi Coal Mine, there would be no need to invest too much intelligence here.

"Before I explain, let me talk about our activities in Qiongshan County."

He first reported his work in Qiongshan County.

The activities of Wanfeng Grain Bank, the work of the Hai family, Ma Benyuan's local intelligence network...

"...In Qiongshan County, we have made great progress now." Lin Baiguang said, "The bureaucracy of the entire Qiongzhou Prefecture is almost like a sieve."
